This just in -- DaveH celebrates another long day!!!

Just got home from another 12-hour day. The electrical inspection passed with flying colors. Whenever a piece of conduit leaves an electrical panel or box, there needs to be a supporting strap within three feet. I had two runs of conduit that violated this rule -- each run (they are about six inches apart) had their three-foot mark behind two of our temporary freezers. I told the guy that the freezers were moving when we do the expansion and that I would install the straps then. Zero problem. The only other issue was when you have a piece of conduit going from a beer cave out to a normal room, there is chance for air-flow and condensation. I need to plug it with some duct seal putty. Never knew that but it makes perfect sense. I'll be going into town tomorrow anyway so a trip to Stoneway Electric has been added to the list... Posted by DaveH at May 26, 2010 7:56 PM
